1. Standard Momentary Activation [Rotary Dial in the
Full Clockwise position - Tailcap PRESS ON and RELEASE OFF

As long as the tailcap button is pressed the light is ON. As soon as it
is released the light is extinguished. This is of vital concern in a tactical
environment as often it is as important to get the light extinguished
as it is to energize it on demand.

As long as the tailcap button is pressed the light is STROBING. This is
deployed when the operator wishes to close the gap or disorient threats.This
is a powerful modality! As long as the tailcap button is pressed, the
light will cycle in a pre-programmed rapid strobe pattern. While operating
in strobe mode, the power sent to the LED is increased to its maximum
safe output to increase the effect on the threat's visual perception.

3. Constant On Mode Or Adjustable [Rotary Dial at the
Full Counter-Clockwise position]

a. Constant On, Last Setting or Full Power (Factory Default) [Tailcap
PRESS AND RELEASE]
The light will stay ON. To turn the light OFF, Quickly PRESS AND RELEASE
the tailcap button again.

b. Adjustable / User Selectable Light Levels [Tailcap PRESS AND HOLD]
To change Modes when the Rotary Dial is on Channel 3
*Note the Mode changes are cycled in a set sequence:
1-2-3-1 and so on.
-To change from Mode I (factory default) to Mode II, press and HOLD
the tailcap button when the rotary dial is set for CONSTANT ON-OFF operation
until the light blinks twice (approx. 10 seconds). Repeat the process.
The next time you activate the tailcap, the light will start off in
Mode II
-To change to the next Mode, Mode III, initiate the same sequence.
-To change from Mode III back to Mode I (factory default), initiate
the sequence again.
-This feature gives the Gladius a wide range of versatility to meet
operational requirements never previously available in this category
of illumination tools. If the operator needs just enough light to navigate
in difficult terrain, to signal, or complete some administrative functions,
the light can be adjusted accordingly.most importantly, the operator
may now store a specific illumination level for instant access- never
having to over or under illuminate in a critical situation.

4. System OFF Mode - Lock Out

-Press the tailcap button halfway down when the rotary dial is in the
full counter-clockwise position to access additional rotation.
- Rotate the knob one more position clockwise.
- Once the additional rotation is achieved, the light is "Locked
Out" and the tailcap button will not depress. This allows the light
to be stored in a "go-bag", with other personal gear, or in
a holder without accidental light activation.
- To Unlock the light, simply move the rotary dial clockwise.

Switching Modes Dynamically

Once you become familiar with the operation of the Gladius, you will appreciate
the powerful capability of switching modes on the fly. You can preset
to another mode by simply turning the rotary dial without changing the
current level or type of light output you are currently accessing. The
next time the tailcap switch is cycled it will be in that new modality.
For example, you may be navigating using the Gladius at its lowest level
of light. During that navigation task, you can switch the rotary dial
to Momentary Mode. The light will remain at its lowest level until you
press the tailcap again. At that point you will be at full power and in
the Momentary Mode.
